TELL 'EM WHY YOU MAD: Things You Should Know
There are some things you may need to know about me before we interact. I'm a fairly positive dude, but there are a few things (maybe more than a few) that bother me. Figured I'd throw some of my likes and dislikes out there.
1. I’m an advocate of peer pressure.
2. I think you should be allowed to throat chop the following people without consequence: douchebags (vague on purpose), people who don't do the polite wave when you let their car cut in front of you, Joe Jackson, Al Sharpton, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Nick Cannon, Ringtone Rappers (plus their followers) and those that press the elevator button after you've already done it. I'm open to further suggestions.
3. I really don’t think the phrase “no homo” excuses you from anything and I’m slightly disturbed by the use of it in rap. I think the term "Pause" is equally as stupid! It's like dropping "with all due respect" at the start of a sentence and then saying "you're an f'ing asshole". Doesn't excuse anything (especially if you're an f'ing asshole).
4. I think a lot of music on the radio sucks (Playlists are wack and radio won't learn until all of their listeners go to the internet and satellite radio for good music and variety). I support real quality music (hence this blog). I wonder if we can get that back on a mainstream level...
5. If there was a movie about my life, I'd want Sean Connery to play me. I think it would be a breakout role for him.
6. I hate facebook group pages! F' joining the "Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits are Delicious" group (yes, they are but really does it need a group?) or the "I'd Like Five More Minutes of Sleep in The Morning" group (will joining this group make that happen?) F' out of here! (join The Mad Bloggers FB page TODAY!! lol). I may however hate facebook quizzes more. Cool, I would be Dorothy on the Wizard of Oz quiz and I'd be a door on the "what part of the house would I be" quiz. F' out of here with those too! So please miss me on those requests! Thanks, Management!
7. I think R. Kelly is a musical genius (minus all 100 chapters of trapped in the closet). I like that the dude makes some GREAT music, it's not like I want him to babysit my kids. I separate his personal dilemmas from the music. (I however don't co-sign on a dude wearing a Zorro mask).
8. I think OJ Simpson is an idiot (you get off on murder but go to jail for stealing your own shit back?). He should have been put to sleep for being such an idiot.
9. I think Mario Van Peebles, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Robert Townsend make movies so that they can give themselves really cool roles, otherwise they'd be lame if someone else casted them in flicks (like they are in real life).
10. I don't understand sarcasm.

Blitz The Ambassador - On My Mixtape Sh*t
Now I am sure many sites have this mixtape and being that it's a really good one from a really talented artist named Blitz The Ambassador, I figure I'd help spread the word. For those who speak about the lack of quality in Hip Hop, here's your chance to hear proof that it's not dead, just being pushed to the side for more gimmicky, temporarily profitable crap. Check it out....

Drake - The Search featuring Saukrates (Produced by Rich Kidd)
I have to thank SoulSupreme from Potholes In My Blog who got this via The Real Frequency for this track of Drake flowing over a refreshingly dope hip hop beat which features another up and coming talented MC by the name of Saukrates. A breath of fresh air in all regards compared to with who the public sees him collaborating with and the style of songs he's on. In my opinion, this track is so dope, I had to re-post it to get it out to the world so they can know what Drake is capable of in the essence of the kind of Hip Hop that I'm a big fan of. Track is called The Search. Check for yourself...

Funky DL - So Sexy
I still use MySpace. Yep. I just wanna put that out there. I'm confessing. Why do I still use it? Because. I get requests from artists still and sometimes, they're pretty good ones too Take Funky DL for example. Recently requested me and I checked out his music. Out of Hackney, United Kingdom according to his MySpace page and album coming out in August 31st, his music is refreshing hip hop. Production that has my head bopping and mouse clicking to hit play again. Be sure to check him out on his page. Here's a single off his site.

What's the Message?
I'm speechless. I know Presidents get it but to liken President Obama, who has only been in office for 200 days, to one of the most evil fictional villains ... hmm. Apparently these posters popped up all over Los Angeles and have spread virally over the internet. Racist? I'm not sure. Mean spirited, definitely. Bad taste, most likely. What are your thoughts?
